1 00:00:06,789 --> 00:00:03,189 hi everyone 2 00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:06,799 um so my name is caprice phillips and my 3 00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:09,040 pronouns are she her and hers 4 00:00:14,070 --> 00:00:12,400 um i'm a phd student at the ohio state 5 00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:14,080 university working with dr 6 00:00:17,830 --> 00:00:16,800 g wong and today i'm going to be talking 7 00:00:20,070 --> 00:00:17,840 about 8 00:00:21,750 --> 00:00:20,080 the research that i've been working on 9 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:21,760 involving detecting potential buyer 10 00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:23,920 signatures in the atmospheres of gas 11 00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:25,920 drawers with the james webb space 12 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:31,029 before i get started i wanted to 13 00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:32,239 introduce my 14 00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:36,160 collaborators um so um my advisor is dr 15 00:00:40,470 --> 00:00:37,120 ji wong here 16 00:00:41,510 --> 00:00:40,480 at osu then we also have sarah kendrick 17 00:00:43,270 --> 00:00:41,520 the space 18 00:00:45,190 --> 00:00:43,280 telescope science institute who's an 19 00:00:47,750 --> 00:00:45,200 expert with mary 20 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:47,760 we also have tom green who works at nasa 21 00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:49,760 ames who's a near spec 22 00:00:55,750 --> 00:00:53,680 expert in renew at jpl who does 23 00:00:57,590 --> 00:00:55,760 photochemical modeling and joel schultz 24 00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:57,600 and wendy panero 25 00:01:00,790 --> 00:00:59,600 who are both in the geology department 26 00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:00,800 and helpful 27 00:01:05,109 --> 00:01:03,280 with interior modeling and then jeff 28 00:01:07,350 --> 00:01:05,119 lenty at the space 29 00:01:09,190 --> 00:01:07,360 science telescope institute was also a 30 00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:09,200 new spec instrument so we've assembled a 31 00:01:12,469 --> 00:01:10,720 really great team 32 00:01:14,710 --> 00:01:12,479 of experts with different instruments 33 00:01:16,149 --> 00:01:14,720 with a board jwst 34 00:01:19,590 --> 00:01:16,159 it's been really great working with all 35 00:01:24,230 --> 00:01:22,230 um so gas dwarfs are among the most 36 00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,240 abundant type of planet so this is the 37 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:26,479 type of planet that my research focuses 38 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:27,280 on 39 00:01:36,230 --> 00:01:32,320 um and so in 2014 buchavi at all 40 00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:36,240 worked on a paper where they broke um 41 00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:39,360 exoplanets up into three categories 42 00:01:43,190 --> 00:01:40,079 based on 43 00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,200 solar metallicity and there were those 44 00:01:46,870 --> 00:01:45,600 be um below one point one point seven 45 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:46,880 earth radii 46 00:01:53,030 --> 00:01:50,320 and above three point four right three 47 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:53,040 but the ones in between um were dubbed 48 00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:53,360 uh 49 00:01:57,109 --> 00:01:56,159 gas droves which they said were rocky 50 00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:57,119 plant with 51 00:02:00,149 --> 00:01:59,520 planets with rocky cores and hydrogen 52 00:02:03,109 --> 00:02:00,159 helium 53 00:02:04,230 --> 00:02:03,119 envelopes and those include both super 54 00:02:07,190 --> 00:02:04,240 earths 55 00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:07,200 and many neptunes and so this is a 56 00:02:10,869 --> 00:02:08,640 diagram 57 00:02:12,309 --> 00:02:10,879 uh shown here it's a little outdated but 58 00:02:14,869 --> 00:02:12,319 it's the number of planets 59 00:02:16,470 --> 00:02:14,879 um versus the type of planets here and 60 00:02:18,150 --> 00:02:16,480 highlight are super earths and 61 00:02:20,229 --> 00:02:18,160 subneptunes showing that 62 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:20,239 they're the most common type of 63 00:02:24,630 --> 00:02:21,840 transiting planet 64 00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:24,640 by size which is what my research 65 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:27,280 focuses on 66 00:02:31,910 --> 00:02:30,160 um so what's interesting um about these 67 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:31,920 types of planets is that they are not 68 00:02:34,309 --> 00:02:32,640 found 69 00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:34,319 in the solar system we have a very 70 00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:36,080 structured solar system 71 00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:38,000 where we have the inner rocky planets 72 00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:40,239 like mercury venus earth and mars 73 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:42,160 we have gas giants like jupiter and 74 00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:43,680 saturn and then we also have 75 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:46,879 ice giants um uranus and neptune and so 76 00:02:50,070 --> 00:02:49,040 gas dwarfs are not found in the solar 77 00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:50,080 system so 78 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:52,239 it begs the question are they upscaled 79 00:02:55,990 --> 00:02:54,160 versions of the inner rocky planets are 80 00:02:58,309 --> 00:02:56,000 they downscaled versions 81 00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:58,319 of the gas giants for example and it 82 00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:00,000 brings forth questions about like the 83 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:01,200 information 84 00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:05,040 atmosphere and if their bio signatures 85 00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:06,720 or potential signs of life 86 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:08,480 are different in these types of planets 87 00:03:15,670 --> 00:03:15,110 um so ammonia is a biosignature so this 88 00:03:20,390 --> 00:03:15,680 was first 89 00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:20,400 proposed by sarah seeger in 2013 90 00:03:24,949 --> 00:03:23,760 and so the idea is that ammonia is a 91 00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:24,959 biosignature 92 00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:27,519 in an atmosphere rich in hydrogen and 93 00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:28,959 nitrogen 94 00:03:31,910 --> 00:03:30,159 the idea is that you might have 95 00:03:33,830 --> 00:03:31,920 microbial life that can break apart the 96 00:03:36,309 --> 00:03:33,840 bonds to produce ammonia 97 00:03:37,830 --> 00:03:36,319 and eventually we have an access to 98 00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,840 build up 99 00:03:40,869 --> 00:03:39,200 and the atmospheres are hopefully 100 00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:40,879 detectable levels and 101 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,360 these microbial vibes can capture the 102 00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:45,360 energy release and the excess of ammonia 103 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:46,560 like i said will build up in the 104 00:03:50,149 --> 00:03:47,440 atmosphere to 105 00:03:51,350 --> 00:03:50,159 potentially detectable levels and 106 00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:51,360 ammonia is a really 107 00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:54,159 cool biosignature in the potential buyer 108 00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:55,200 signature 109 00:03:59,190 --> 00:03:56,959 and the fact that you need really high 110 00:04:01,190 --> 00:03:59,200 temperatures and pressures to produce it 111 00:04:02,550 --> 00:04:01,200 a biotically so that's kind of the idea 112 00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:02,560 if you were to see 113 00:04:06,550 --> 00:04:04,640 potentially um detect among your 114 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:06,560 atmosphere it could be the first steps 115 00:04:14,309 --> 00:04:09,200 to start to rule out abiotic 116 00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:14,319 processes and different things like that 117 00:04:18,310 --> 00:04:16,400 so my research focuses on if we can 118 00:04:19,830 --> 00:04:18,320 detect ammonia in the atmospheres of 119 00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:19,840 these gastro orbs 120 00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:22,240 so before we can even see whether we can 121 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,320 detect ammonia we first have to 122 00:04:29,830 --> 00:04:26,960 select targets and so we'd use three 123 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:29,840 main selection criteria and the first 124 00:04:32,070 --> 00:04:30,479 one 125 00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:32,080 we asked like kind of three questions 126 00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:34,560 like can the planet support liquid water 127 00:04:38,070 --> 00:04:36,160 um does the planet have the right 128 00:04:41,350 --> 00:04:38,080 pressure and third it's a planet 129 00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:41,360 um close enough to earth and so we want 130 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:43,440 um it to have the right pressure between 131 00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:44,880 1.7 132 00:04:50,550 --> 00:04:48,160 and 3.4 earth radii and the uppercut 133 00:04:52,629 --> 00:04:50,560 is to make sure that it doesn't have too 134 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:52,639 high repressor to produce ammo 135 00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:55,520 ammonia um abiotic it doesn't have a 136 00:04:59,030 --> 00:04:56,000 process 137 00:05:00,950 --> 00:04:59,040 like here on earth and so we want to 138 00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:00,960 make sure that the planet has the right 139 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:02,320 temperature support 140 00:05:05,670 --> 00:05:04,240 and the water make sure it's not too hot 141 00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:05,680 and then also we want to make sure it's 142 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,720 close enough 143 00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:08,560 um so that we have adequate flux from 144 00:05:14,310 --> 00:05:10,560 the whole star and the planet 145 00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,320 so based on this selection criteria 146 00:05:18,230 --> 00:05:16,960 we have a sample of seven targets shown 147 00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:18,240 on the right here 148 00:05:22,230 --> 00:05:20,080 that's the plot of the planet radius 149 00:05:23,990 --> 00:05:22,240 versus the equilibrium temperature 150 00:05:25,830 --> 00:05:24,000 of our seven targets we have targets 151 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:25,840 like k2 18b 152 00:05:31,590 --> 00:05:29,680 lhs 1140b and a couple of planets in the 153 00:05:33,189 --> 00:05:31,600 toi 270 system 154 00:05:35,110 --> 00:05:33,199 so the targets are shown here in the 155 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:35,120 color and the ones in the gray dots are 156 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:36,479 the ones that meet 157 00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:38,560 the first two criteria but are more than 158 00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:46,070 um so we don't have the spectra for 159 00:05:49,830 --> 00:05:46,880 these 160 00:05:51,189 --> 00:05:49,840 um objects yet so what we have to do is 161 00:05:54,870 --> 00:05:51,199 have to simulate 162 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:54,880 spectra and so what we 163 00:06:00,309 --> 00:05:57,360 we do that using this code called petite 164 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,319 rate trans um developed by paul moliere 165 00:06:04,790 --> 00:06:03,199 in 2019 so it's a really cool program 166 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:04,800 and that 167 00:06:09,749 --> 00:06:07,440 what you do is that you can insert an 168 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,759 abundance of molecules you can edit the 169 00:06:13,189 --> 00:06:11,199 concentration 170 00:06:14,230 --> 00:06:13,199 of ammonia and different things like 171 00:06:15,590 --> 00:06:14,240 well water 172 00:06:17,350 --> 00:06:15,600 you can add rayleigh scattering 173 00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:17,360 different things like that and so you 174 00:06:20,950 --> 00:06:18,080 can also 175 00:06:21,749 --> 00:06:20,960 input pressure temperature profiles you 176 00:06:23,830 --> 00:06:21,759 can 177 00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:23,840 edit the surface gravity the size of the 178 00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,520 planet the temperature of the planet 179 00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:27,280 and where you want the pressure bar to 180 00:06:31,430 --> 00:06:28,960 be set at and if you would like to you 181 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:31,440 can account for the effects of cloud 182 00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:34,560 decks as well and so on the right here 183 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:37,600 is kind of is showing the example of the 184 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:38,960 model outputs 185 00:06:45,430 --> 00:06:42,720 and so on the top here is showing 186 00:06:47,270 --> 00:06:45,440 um some kind of like new infrared like 187 00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:47,280 transmission 188 00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:50,240 spectroscopy of an example planet and on 189 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,479 the bottom here is emission spectroscopy 190 00:06:57,670 --> 00:06:54,800 shown in the mid infrared 191 00:06:59,270 --> 00:06:57,680 to see whether we can detect ammonia 192 00:06:59,830 --> 00:06:59,280 features as well but these are the model 193 00:07:03,670 --> 00:06:59,840 outputs 194 00:07:08,710 --> 00:07:07,189 so um this slide encompasses basically 195 00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:08,720 the structure 196 00:07:15,990 --> 00:07:11,840 um of this research project so 197 00:07:18,070 --> 00:07:16,000 um the first step is um to build the um 198 00:07:19,589 --> 00:07:18,080 after we built the spectra we 199 00:07:21,110 --> 00:07:19,599 determine the amount of ammonia 200 00:07:24,150 --> 00:07:21,120 atmosphere and we start with 201 00:07:27,350 --> 00:07:24,160 a base amount of 4.0 um 202 00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:27,360 ppm in the atmosphere and also that's 203 00:07:30,469 --> 00:07:28,319 step one 204 00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:30,479 and so step two we select an instrument 205 00:07:34,150 --> 00:07:32,000 to test so 206 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:34,160 there are a lot of ammonia features in 207 00:07:38,309 --> 00:07:36,000 the near infrared there's also 208 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:38,319 a pretty dominant um ammonia feature in 209 00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:40,240 the mid-infrared and so we 210 00:07:44,070 --> 00:07:43,039 utilize different instruments to test 211 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:44,080 whether we can detect 212 00:07:47,749 --> 00:07:46,319 these different features and so for the 213 00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:47,759 beginning at the top here we use 214 00:07:50,869 --> 00:07:49,120 the mirror instrument which is the 215 00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:50,879 mid-infrared 216 00:07:56,390 --> 00:07:54,000 instrument above aboard jwst 217 00:07:57,830 --> 00:07:56,400 which can there's around a 10 micron 218 00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:57,840 ammonia feature that we want to see if 219 00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:00,240 we can detect with emission spectroscopy 220 00:08:04,070 --> 00:08:02,240 and so we move on um select the 221 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:04,080 instrument and then we also we vary the 222 00:08:06,869 --> 00:08:04,800 amount 223 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:06,879 of hydrogen in the atmosphere and we 224 00:08:12,550 --> 00:08:09,520 either choose a 90 225 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:12,560 hydrogen dominated atmosphere or 25 226 00:08:16,629 --> 00:08:15,120 hydrogen based atmosphere which changes 227 00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:16,639 the mean molecular weight of the 228 00:08:21,270 --> 00:08:17,840 atmosphere 229 00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:21,280 respectively and after that for mary we 230 00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:22,720 want to ask the question if we can 231 00:08:25,110 --> 00:08:23,440 determine 232 00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:25,120 if the ammonia features can be detected 233 00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:27,039 reacts as a contrast 234 00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:31,120 between the um planet and the stars are 235 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,719 greater than equal to 10 to the 236 00:08:36,630 --> 00:08:34,560 minus four which is a sensitivity 237 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:36,640 threshold for mary 238 00:08:40,070 --> 00:08:38,560 and so we kind of go back to step two 239 00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:40,080 with the near spec instrument which 240 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:41,680 operates in the 241 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:44,240 excuse me in the near infrared and so we 242 00:08:47,590 --> 00:08:45,360 go back in the x 243 00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,600 we vary again the amount of hydrogen in 244 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:48,720 the atmosphere 245 00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:52,320 and so with a um 90 based hydrogen 246 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:53,519 atmosphere we also 247 00:08:57,990 --> 00:08:56,240 want to detect we also want to see the 248 00:08:59,829 --> 00:08:58,000 effects that clouds have on the 249 00:09:02,790 --> 00:08:59,839 detectability and so we 250 00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:02,800 do clouds versus no clouds here and then 251 00:09:05,590 --> 00:09:04,320 for nearly with transmission 252 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:05,600 spectroscopy 253 00:09:09,509 --> 00:09:08,240 we access a signal to noise for these 254 00:09:12,310 --> 00:09:09,519 ammonia features 255 00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:12,320 greater than equal to uh three sigma 256 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:14,320 determine if that's a 257 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:20,710 so we found that transmission 258 00:09:24,470 --> 00:09:22,080 spectroscopy is better 259 00:09:26,710 --> 00:09:24,480 suited to detect ammonia features than 260 00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:26,720 emission spectroscopy 261 00:09:30,630 --> 00:09:29,360 um so as i mentioned with transmission 262 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:30,640 spectroscopy 263 00:09:34,949 --> 00:09:32,480 well we test a variety of instrument 264 00:09:38,790 --> 00:09:34,959 instruments and modes like the new spect 265 00:09:42,550 --> 00:09:38,800 and the nearest instrument is an example 266 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,560 spectrum of toi 270 see here this is our 267 00:09:45,829 --> 00:09:44,080 simulated spectra 268 00:09:47,110 --> 00:09:45,839 from petite and the orange here and the 269 00:09:50,550 --> 00:09:47,120 black dots 270 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:50,560 are the um simulated uh 271 00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:52,480 observations from jwst from the 272 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:54,160 respective instruments shown down here 273 00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:55,120 at the bottom 274 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:58,880 corresponding signal to noise for the 275 00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:00,399 different features 276 00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,480 um so if we take one feature among the 277 00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:04,480 future for example the 1.5 278 00:10:09,990 --> 00:10:08,160 among your feature here we see that with 279 00:10:12,230 --> 00:10:10,000 transmission spectroscopy we would get a 280 00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:12,240 signal to noise of 5 sigma which is 281 00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:13,760 great which would mean you would be able 282 00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:16,320 to detect this feature 283 00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:19,920 using that instrument for example um 284 00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:22,240 however when we go over to emission 285 00:10:25,750 --> 00:10:23,920 spectroscopy 286 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:25,760 with mary as i mentioned before there's 287 00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:28,160 a ammonia future around 10 microns 288 00:10:32,150 --> 00:10:30,480 and we see that most of the targets here 289 00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:32,160 are below that sensitivity 290 00:10:39,030 --> 00:10:35,839 threshold for mary and even our best 291 00:10:42,310 --> 00:10:39,040 target lp79118c 292 00:10:44,069 --> 00:10:42,320 is barely above that 293 00:10:46,949 --> 00:10:44,079 sensitivity threshold so be very 294 00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:46,959 difficult to detect 295 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:52,710 and so as we did this project we also 296 00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:53,680 wanted to 297 00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:55,760 test the effects that varying the amount 298 00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:56,880 of hydrogen 299 00:11:02,790 --> 00:10:58,399 and the atmosphere has for ammonia 300 00:11:06,630 --> 00:11:02,800 detection and we see that 301 00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:06,640 with a 90 hydrogen-based atmosphere for 302 00:11:11,509 --> 00:11:08,480 that same 1.5 303 00:11:14,389 --> 00:11:11,519 ammonia feature we have almost a double 304 00:11:15,269 --> 00:11:14,399 signal to noise value you go from a five 305 00:11:17,590 --> 00:11:15,279 sigma 306 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,600 to a 25 percent hydrogen-based 307 00:11:23,430 --> 00:11:20,160 atmosphere to a two sigma 308 00:11:25,829 --> 00:11:23,440 detection um so we wanted to explore 309 00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:25,839 those effects and we see that it's 310 00:11:30,389 --> 00:11:28,800 better to have a higher concentration of 311 00:11:32,069 --> 00:11:30,399 hydrogen in the atmosphere to detect 312 00:11:34,069 --> 00:11:32,079 ammonia 313 00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:34,079 another thing we wanted to explore is 314 00:11:39,509 --> 00:11:36,399 the effects of clouds we see that 315 00:11:41,590 --> 00:11:39,519 clouds higher in the atmosphere cloud 316 00:11:43,990 --> 00:11:41,600 decks high in the atmosphere 317 00:11:45,430 --> 00:11:44,000 do kind of mute and fly in the 318 00:11:47,829 --> 00:11:45,440 transmissions 319 00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:47,839 spectra and so that's another effect 320 00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:48,800 that we wanted 321 00:11:53,829 --> 00:11:50,720 to see we tested a variety of cloud 322 00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:56,470 with that i'll just put up my conclusion 323 00:12:00,230 --> 00:11:58,079 slides 324 00:12:02,150 --> 00:12:00,240 and so we see that gastrops are more 325 00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:02,160 massive and common than earth 326 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:03,920 and our promising sites look for signs 327 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:05,600 of life and ammonia 328 00:12:09,750 --> 00:12:07,760 is an exotic biosignature unique to 329 00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:09,760 hydrogen-based atmospheres of gaf stores 330 00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:11,920 including super earth and many neptunes 331 00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:13,519 and we found that the near spec 332 00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:15,360 instrument is um 333 00:12:18,949 --> 00:12:17,200 better suited to mirror to detect 334 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:18,959 ammonia than their specularized 335 00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:19,760 instrument 336 00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:21,680 and we exploit the effects of 337 00:12:25,269 --> 00:12:23,760 detectability of ammonia by seeing how 338 00:12:26,150 --> 00:12:25,279 it's affected by the concentration the 339 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,160 atmosphere 340 00:12:29,829 --> 00:12:28,320 the amount of ammonia present in the 341 00:12:33,110 --> 00:12:29,839 presence of clouds
